The latex paint is a tad crunchy but it doesn't really bother me. The roughness is way, way less than a jute or sisal. {I guess it also depends on what rug you use. I think mine is a low loop pile rug}

Here's a peak of the campaign desk and shelves. I haven't really styled it yet. I spray painted the back of the shelves gold.

Fantastic Charmaine. Everything is really coming together and all your DIY's in the basement are amazing! The number of hours you spent is obvious! It looks beautiful, congratulations!xo NancyPowellbrowerhome.com

this came out so fantastic! And I love love love the gold backs of the campaign furniture. (Yes, I'm a little behind in commenting, better late than never.) Your basement office is really coming together.
